2015 Ford Focus 2.0L Diesel · LR15 LCC

The 2015 Ford Focus presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at 70,674 miles on 22 August 2025 with zero defects recorded. That result is the most recent MOT on file and remains valid until 22 August 2026, meaning the certificate is still live at the time of writing. The vehicle has moved from a period of repeated tyre advisories and minor electrical faults in 2023 to a fully compliant outcome, suggesting the last keeper addressed outstanding items promptly and has maintained the car to a reasonable standard since. The recorded mileage of 70,674 miles across roughly eleven years of ownership equates to approximately 6,425 miles per year, which is typical for a small family hatchback of this age. The MOT history shows a consistent annual testing pattern, with tests clustered around August each year. Mileage progression is steady: 57,169 miles in August 2023, 64,092 miles in August 2024, and 70,674 miles in August 2025, indicating roughly 6,900 to 7,000 miles covered per year over the most recent three-year window. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer record that would raise concerns about clocking or prolonged periods of disuse. The 2023 MOT entries are the most informative for a prospective buyer. On 1 August 2023 at 57,169 miles, the tester flagged all four front tyres worn to 2mm with inner edge wear, both rear tyres showing cracking or perishing, and a windscreen washer fluid leak likely caused by a split hose. The inner edge wear pattern on the front tyres points to tracking or suspension geometry issues, possibly worn tracking rod ends or deteriorated suspension bushes, rather than simple neglect. The rear tyre cracking suggests age-related perishing rather than abuse, which is consistent with a vehicle of this vintage. A buyer should inspect the front suspension components, including wishbone bushes, ball joints, and tracking adjustment, and verify the condition of all five tyres including the spare if fitted. The washer system should be tested for leaks at the pump, reservoir, and hose connections. Beyond the flagged items, the clean 2025 result at 70,674 miles indicates no current advisories, but a prospective buyer should still examine the underside for corrosion on subframes, sills, and brake lines, as these are common failure points on older Fords. Brake disc and pad condition, exhaust integrity, and the operation of both headlamp main and dipped beams should be verified in person, given the headlamp defect recorded on 1 August 2025 at 70,128 miles that was evidently rectified before the retest. The overall record suggests a car that has been kept in adequate condition with no persistent mechanical faults, but the 2023 tyre and suspension-related wear pattern warrants a careful physical inspection before purchase.
